The Revolution Design Racing Products Ultra Flat Head Carburator Wrench is not just your ordinary flat head screwdriver but a precision tool to adjust and monitor your engine’s carburettor settings in the best possible way. Offering a hardened spring steel 4×0.8mm tool tip the wrench is ideal to adjust all mixture needles found on today’s engines such as the main and idle needle but also mid range needles on competition engines. And the cleverness does not end here! When holding the gauge incorporated into the blade in place and turning the wrench at the same time you can easily read and monitor the changes you do to the needle settings. How often have you heard you racing buddies to lean the “main needle by a quarter of a turn”. You now can make it even more exact by using the Ultra Flat Head Carburator Wrench. And once you are done with your race you can easily stop the engine by pressing the upper rubber plug against the engine’s flywheel. As usual the tool handle come made from black anodised aluminium with laser-etched logos for that signature Revolution Design look.

I have stressed many times before, over text, in person, over email, etc.. that I do 1/5th Scale Racing because I love it! I am passionate about it, I enjoy it and it puts a HUGE smile on my face. That will never change.But also, as a racer, I am also competitive in myself, and expect the best from myself whether its racing, practicing or otherwise.So this is just me talking about what I personally think and expect this year.

Before I get talking about this year, lets take a small look back at 2013.

2013 was, personally for me, the best year in racing I have had for some time (prob since 2007), in many ways.Results, luck, general ability, confidence, everything!

2012 had been a tough year and to be honest I was riding very low on confidence after struggling in Spain…

Serpent have released the news that there will be a new edition to the 1/8th line next year. Although the car is in production a few serpent team drivers are testing the car i tweeted @paulomorganti to see if i could get a sneek pic but he said he isnt allowed release images.. Hopfully some leaks will be up soon..

Terra, most commonly known as planet Earth, is home to millions of species, including humans and bthe mineral resources of the planet as well as the products of the biosphere, contribute resources that are used to support a global human population. Continue reading to see ten eye-opening pictures of terra captured from outer space.

10. Illuminating

Our home, Earth, is the third planet from the sun and the only world known to support an atmosphere with free oxygen, oceans of liquid water on the surface and – the big one – life.

9. Deep Blue

It’s not a perfect sphere. As Earth spins, gravity points toward the center of our planet (assuming for explanation’s sake that Earth is a perfect sphere), and a centrifugal force pushes outward. But since this gravity-opposing force acts perpendicular to the axis of Earth, and Earth’s axis is tilted, centrifugal force at the equator is not exactly opposed to gravity. This imbalance adds up at the equator, where gravity pushes extra masses of water and earth into a bulge, or “spare tire” around our planet.

8. Lights

Because our globe isn’t a perfect sphere, its mass is distributed unevenly. And uneven mass means slightly uneven gravity. One mysterious gravitational anomaly is in the Hudson Bay of Canada. This area has lower gravity than other regions, and a 2007 study finds that now-melted glaciers are to blame. The ice that once cloaked the area during the last ice age has long since melted, but the Earth hasn’t entirely snapped back from the burden. Since gravity over an area is proportional to the mass atop that region, and the glacier’s imprint pushed aside some of the Earth’s mass, gravity is a bit lessstrong in the ice sheet’s imprint.

7. Mountains

Earth has a magnetic field because of the ocean of hot, liquid metal that sloshes around its solid iron core, or that’s what geophysicists are pretty certain is the cause. This flow of liquid creates electric currents, which, in turn, generate the magnetic field. Since the early 19th century, Earth’s magnetic north pole has been creeping northward by more than 600 miles (1,100 kilometers), according to NASA scientists. The rate of movement has increased, with the pole migrating northward at about 40 miles (64 km) per year currently, compared with the 10 miles (16 km) per year estimated in the 20th century.

6. Islands

To find the world’s longest mountain range you’d have to look down, way down. Called the mid-ocean ridge, the underwater chain of volcanoes spans some 40,389 miles (65,000 km). As lava erupts from the seafloor it creates more crust, adding to the mountain chain, which stretches around the globe.

5. Volcano

Humans leave our mark on the planet in all sorts of weird ways. For example, nuclear tests in the 1950s threw a dusting of radioactivity into the atmosphere. Those radioactive particles eventually fell as rain and snow, and some of that precipitation got trapped in glaciers, where it forms a little “you are here” layer for scientists trying to date the age of glacial ice. Some glaciers are melting so fast, however, that this half-century of history is gone.

4. Sunrise

The Earth is approximately 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) from the sun. At this distance, it takes about 8 minutes and 19 seconds for sunlight to reach our planet.

3. Aurora

The largest volcanic eruption recorded by humans occurred in April 1815, the peak of the explosion of Mount Tambora. The eruption ranked 7 (or “super-colossal”) on the Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI), which goes from 1 to 8 and is somewhat akin to the magnitude scale for earthquakes. The explosion is said to have been so loud it was heard on Sumatra Island, more than 1,200 miles (1,930 km) away. The death toll from the eruption was estimated at 71,000 people, and clouds of heavy ash descended on many far-away islands.

2. Golden

The Pacific Ocean is by far Earth’s largest ocean basin, covering an area of about 59 million square miles (155 million square kilometers) and containing more than half of the free water on Earth, according to NOAA. It’s so big that all of the world’s continents could fit into the Pacific basin.

1. Sahara

On the other end of the spectrum, there are plenty of teeny-tiny organisms on Earth, all the way down to single-cell life. But let’s focus on something a little more cuddly: the Kitti’s hog-nosed bat. This vulnerable species found in southeast Asia is only about 1 inch (29-33 millimeters) long and weighs only 0.071 ounces (2 grams), putting it in the running with Etruscan shrews, which are lighter but longer, for the world’s smallest mammal.

At first glance, this appears to be a normal shipping container, but at the push of a button, you’ll see that it’s so much more. While not a fully-furnished home, it definitely is a nice resting place for mobile warriors. Continue reading to look inside.

Yes, there’s a mini living room, dining table, and even a bed for when long road trips get a bit too weary. Unfortunately, you’ll have to find a trailer park to get electricity – there is possibly a solar panel option.
